Walgreens school supplies

With all 5 of us in school full time, it seems impossible to keep a pen or pencil laying around and not having it disappear! So I took full advantage this week of Walgreens starting some back to school sales and stocked up! I had a bunch of 1$ RR to burn through from the Sure deodorant so I used those on my transactions.

In all I ended up with
21- 10 count packs of wooden pencils
13-5 count packs of mechanical pencils
17-10 count packs of pens (blue and black)
1- Cutter mosquito wipes that were on clearance

This was a total of 53 items

That===11 cents an item!

Albertsons 6/28

There are some great deals this week at albertsons! I had a budget this week of 60$ since it was my daughters birthday. And of course part of that I had to use to buy milk and bread and some fruits and veggies. I was able to get all of this stuff and STILL stay under my budget buy using coupons and doublers and I had a few rain checks that I used too.

My total amount before coupons and savings was $292.02
But after coupons I spent $30.72.......This is a 91% savings! I was able to get 110 items which====28 cents an item!!!! Wow!

Smiths super doubles

This last week at Smith's they have been doubling all coupons that are less than 1$ and making them all worth 1$ which makes for some amazing free stuff. My goal is to try and keep better track of what it is exactly that I am buying each week. Here are my purchases for today.

11 tubes of Colgate toothpaste. They were already on sale for 1$ each. I had 11 coupons that were worth $0.75 and they doubled them to make them worth 1$ so all 11 tubes were FREE!
The pickles were on a special savers deal for 2/4$ marked down from 3.29 each. There were $0.75 blinkie coupons by them which made them only 1$ each after the coupons doubled. The pizza rolls were on sale for 1.25 and I had 35cent coupons so when they doubled those they came out to $0.25 each. The bounty paper towels were 1.09 and the $0.25 coupon doubled up to a dollar which made the paper towels 9 cents!

Total before savings and coupons was $49.39

Total spent after coupons was $4.90!!! (I had 4-$1 catalinas that I used towards the total)

Kmart Super Doubles

This week is super doubles week at Kmart. They will double any coupon up to $2, so really that gives you $4 off a product so there is a lot of stuff that you can get for free. The catch is, they are limiting it to 5 coupons per day that will double. If I didn't live right next to Kmart, I would think that this wasn't worth it, but since it is less than 1 mile from my house, it is definitely worth the trip.

So far this week I have done 5 transactions.

Transaction #1 and 2
-5 softscrub kitchen cleaners at 2.99 each and doubles 1.50 coupon which= free
-2 gillette body washes were $4 each and doubled $2 coupon which =free
-4 head and shoulders shampoo and conditioner. These were on sale for 4.50 each. there were BOGO coupons and also 1$ off coupons so I paid 2.50 for a shampoo and got the conditioner for free.
-Always products were also BOGO and doubled $2 coupon off which made them 2.29 for both of them
For all of these things together including tax I spent $12.84 BUT I can also submit it for a $10 rebate which means that in the end I ended up paying $2.84
and I saved 72.41
Transaction #3
-Kandoo kids wipes 3.25 and used 1$ and doubled it=1.25 each
-pledge wipes 2.99 each and used 1$ and doubled it=.99 each
-1 candy bar that was .49 (which isn't pictured because I ate it!)
